So what do sheep dream of?

We were whitewater rafting in a remote canyon wilderness. Some of our party had gone missing and I ventured out from camp to find them. Strapping my life jacket on tight, I leaped from the steep canyon wall to plummet into the river below. The water was calm and cold. Soon after a storm picked up. Dark, violent clouds gathered overhead and a howling wind picked up, whipping up water off the surface to pummel my face.

Soon there was movement of another kind disturbing the water. The rotting heads of two zombie-bears poked up from the river’s depths and started a slow but deliberate path towards me. I didn’t panic. There was no reason to fear; I had an easy escape route.

Spreading my arms out over the surface of the water I let the gale force winds quickly pick me up and send me soaring above the river and out of the canyon to land gently upon a tall peak overlooking the valley. From there I spotted the start of a raging wildfire.
